Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell underwent successful arthroscopic left knee surgery Friday, the team announced.

The Nets' statement claimed that further updates on Russell's return date would be issued "as appropriate".

Russell, traded to Brooklyn from the Lakers this offseason, has averaged 20.9 points, 5.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 12 games this season. Russell was shooting 46 percent from the floor, while playing nearly 28 minutes per game before his injury.

Spencer Dinwiddie, who scored 12 points with 11 assists in a 109-102 loss to the Celtics Tuesday, likely will continue to start at point guard while Russell rehabs.
